From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Little Paris Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Little Paris Hotel is a Fort Lauderdale address, set about 31.3 miles by road north of the PortMiami cruise terminals. That puts it in one of South Florida’s easiest coastal towns to settle into after a week at sea, close to the ocean and to the streets most visitors come to see. Whether your sailing has just ended or you are staging a day here before the next leg of a journey, it makes a natural landing point once you clear the gangway.
The setting is the real draw. Fort Lauderdale strings together a broad promenade beach, the yacht-lined New River, and the galleries and storefronts along Las Olas Boulevard, with the cruise piers of Port Everglades sitting at the town’s southern edge. From a base like Little Paris Hotel you are within reach of all of it, so an afternoon can just as easily mean walking the sand as browsing Las Olas or watching the boats work the river.
Arrival here is meant to be simple. Your driver brings the group to the entrance and carries the bags to the door, so the first thing you do is step inside rather than wrestle luggage off a curb. Drop the bags, and the water is an easy move from there for anyone who wants a beach afternoon before the day winds down. It is the kind of place that lets a long travel day end quietly, in a town built for exactly that.
Once your group clears the terminal exit on Dodge Island, the car is already staged at the curb for your ship’s actual arrival, with 60 minutes of courtesy wait built in for the walk off the vessel. The chauffeur loads every bag, and the group rides together in a vehicle held for your party alone. It is a single one-way run at a locked flat rate, tolls and fuel included, so nothing is added on the day.
Plan on roughly 31.3 miles and about 54 to 71 minutes from the terminal to the hotel door, depending on traffic and the hour. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, when thousands of passengers disembark at once, so the pickup is timed to your real disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, and that traffic is already priced into the plan. The driver handles the route and the luggage while your group settles in for the drive north.
